Mary's 4-year old visit to the dentist has led her to a very big decision... she's giving up the thumb. For those of you who know Mary (even just a little) you know that she is a THUMB SUCKER. Her story is below:
THUMBS
by Shel Silverstein
Oh the Thumb-sucker's thumb
May look wrinkled and wet
And withered, and white as the snow,
But the taste of a thumb
Is the sweetest taste yet
(As only we thumb-suckers know).
Sitting in Mass Sunday, I could tell she was trying very hard. She came over to me and whispered, "I really want to suck my thumb." Good thing I had just restocked my gum supply :-)
